Birdie/CotterPosted by Bryan
I don't use my cell phone camera much, but here's what happens when I do:
I'm sometimes concerned that birds are plotting to take over the world. They already outnumber us (30:1 or 60:1 depending upon which ornithologist you ask). One local mall has already implemented preemptive efforts.
You can think I have a Sonny disposition if you'd like (meaning, of course, that you think I'm coocoo for cocoa puffs), but just don't try to tell me the the human/aviary conflict is an unrealistic impossibility. I've seen the movie.
This video takes about ten minutes, but it's fascinating. and a little freaky.
So this guy wants to train them for search and rescue. I just don't want them to attack me on the way to my office (which one territorial bird did one day last summer, until I turned and faced it, growling "Bring it, bird!" It chickened out, no pun intended).
By the way, Cotter and I discuss GBD (Global Bird Domination) theory whenever we see large numbers of these winged creatures grouped together, thus what prompted this picture. This was at the 2499/1171 intersection in Flower Mound. The other three street corners looked just like this.
One bonus video...a bird named Einstein. Need I say more?
